Just What I Needed
Last year, right after I turned 30, I was at the dentist. Having just finished a cleaning, I was sat up straight in the chair, my ponytail flattened and messy, and my eyes—which I close during every appointment—still adjusting to the bright light of the room. The dental hygienist was talking positively about my teeth,… Continue reading

It’s My First Try
It goes without saying that we face a lot of pressure every day. Pressure to do or say the right thing. Pressure to look a certain way or be interested or educated in certain things. Pressure to be in the same stage of life as our friends or to forego our comfort level in order… Continue reading

Zion & the 15 Freeway

Peanut Butter: What I Know For Sure
A while back I heard Oprah say that the most important question she’s ever been asked is “what do you know for sure?” She wrote an entire book about the question and of the lessons she holds dear, and even though I haven’t read it, I have felt this question on my heart lately. It… Continue reading

Believe in the Slow Magic
At the beginning of this year, I saw a newsletter from Hannah Brencher that introduced 2021 as “the year of slow magic.” I was immediately drawn to the term “slow magic”, loving the idea that we are consistently in the midst of a slow but meaningful build up to something great.

Elton John’s Only Question Worth Asking
I recently read Elton John’s book Me, and it was a wild ride. I’d highly recommend reading it in any way you prefer, but I’d especially recommend the audiobook as it was a fantastic listen that featured both Elton John himself, and Taron Egerton, who played Elton John in the biopic Rocketman. One thing that… Continue reading
